About My Brilliant Career

Sybylla Melvyn is finding her voice.

Growing up in the 90s – the 1890s, that is – life doesn’t throw a lot of options at a girl. But life didn’t reckon on Sybylla. Forced to choose between romance and her own genius, her family and a future she defines, she’s decided she’s having it all.

Miles Franklin’s novel My Brilliant Career gets a bold new makeover that transforms one of the most enduring literary figures into a musical heroine for this very moment, with a live soundtrack that’s equal parts contemporary pop, folksy bush band and raucous pub rock. An adaption with edge, this re-imagining captures the playful and effervescent spirit of a young woman ready to take on the world.

A live theatre experience sure to blow the ceiling off, My Brilliant Career is led by the phenomenal Kala Gare (SIX) with an ensemble cast of actor/musicians including Cameron Bajraktarevic-Hayward, Lincoln Elliot, Victoria Falconer, Raj Labade, Drew Livingstone, HaNy Lee, Ana Mitsikas, Christina O'Neill, and Jarrad Payne. The fresh take on a literary classic has been adapted by music theatre’s beloved Dean Bryant and Mathew Frank alongside Sheridan Harbridge, directed by MTC's Artistic Director Anne-Louise Sarks, with Set & Costumes by Olivier award-winning Marg Horwell.
